Got the standard manifold through from Barnsley last week along with all relevant gaskets from David at Sere motors.
Got it all clean in the hot wash at work and rubbed the mating surfaces down, all nice and straight as expected so won't get anything skimmed. Left it with my boss to port, told him no rush at all though so not sure when this will be done, won't need it for months anyway haha also expecting my hose bits and lcr maf next week and injectors getting picked up towards end of the month. Will have a big pile of bits ready for the hybrid next year. Got an air filter in mind too that I'll purchase as and when. Also going to think about relocating the battery so I can get better airflow etc that will come last though.
Pics of manifold, pretty boring haha
Still firing enquiries around for the diff so will hopefully see how that pans out soon, set for doing this before more power! Flywheel and clutch setup should be done by next weekend so that will go on when the diff finally happens. Hopefully will have enough for the diff once all xmas prezzies are bought next month!
